Cool, were you able to use video chat in imo.im in solaris? It couldn't detect my video device ... maybe its a driver problem or maybe its a flash problem, I haven't ruled the first out (see below).
There's also gnome meeting (ekiga) which is included in opensolaris, but I don't think it can talk to skype and there aren't windows builds of it available, so its out for me for the time being =/. I attempted to test it, but I didn't see a way to test video without calling someone (and I have no contacts).
